Does the firebird protection module protect from other heat related damages?

[The_one_and_only 97]

I asked this question because the wiki does not clearly answer my question. I want to know if the firebird protection module protects from other heat related damages like a Vulcan with incendiary round or Smokey with the fire shot alt.

No!

FIREBIRD turret deals damages in 2 ways:

1/ Direct damage unique to the turret 

2/ Indirect damage called Heat, also known as After-burn, 

Firebird protection module called Fox  only protect against the direct damage (up to 50% - Mk7 fully upgraded).

The heat damage which can be found on other turret augment (Hammer's dragon breath, Vulcan's incendiary rounds, Smoky's fire rounds) and overdrive (Hopper) can only be reduced or removed with hull augment Heat Resistance (-50%) and Heat immunity (-100%).

When your tank is subject to heat this status indicator  would show up above your health bar to indicate that your tank is above normal temperature. It deals 300 hp per second and can last up to 10 seconds when your tank is fully heated (it should look really red).

No, it wouldn't

This protection module is especially for "Firebird", not the heat from other turrets,

if you want that you could buy heat resistance or immunity...

btw, you have Mk6 Fox module, and 215+ hrs, you convince me if I say "No" you wouldn't play with it anymore?

No it wouldn't, I have tested it right now, there is no difference.
